My passenger side window just came off track and I had to manually pull up the window as far as I can get it. Is it a big deal to get it back on track? What is involved?

Thanks
Greg

probably a broken regulator at the lower bar in the system, there are 2 inside, 1 for each side of the window

Use the search to get instructions how to remove the door panel to check it before you buy anything.

And buy yourselves for X-mas a Bentley Repair Manual for the E34, that is a must to keep maintenance cost low and to make as much as possible DIY.
